Can't run app built from travis (corrupted asar)

[magne4000]

• Version: 19.27.3, 19.52.1
• Target: OSX 0.13.2, XCode 9.2

Building manually with yarn run make on my Macbook actually generates a valid build, but travis generates a build that shows the following error upon launch:

NB yarn run make actually runs cross-env NODE_ENV=production build --config electron-builder.yml

I tried to extract the package.json of the error message, and the content is actually wrong (it has the partial content of another file). So could it be related to how the asar is created ?

The resulting asar have same corruption issues than in #662

Here is a zip of the build that contains a corrupted asar file https://s3.amazonaws.com/dev.getstation.com/Station.Canary-0.12.24-mac.zip

Could you please ensure that 19.52.1 is used on Travis? Could you please try to set env USE_HARD_LINKS=false on Travis? And provide travis log?

[magne4000]

Retried a build with 19.52.1 and USE_HARD_LINKS=false, we still have an offset related error:

Here is the related artifact:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/dev.getstation.com/Station.Canary-0.12.25-mac.zip

And the travis log https://s3.amazonaws.com/dev.getstation.com/log.txt

[alexstrat]

For information, we are able to make a valid build of onshape-desktop-shell on Travis.
With the same configuration, we can't have a valid build for our app.

It's working now with latest version (2.11.1) and electron 2.0.0
